63 winners will compete in a national competition next month.
Two midlands bars have made the shortlist for the Irish Pub Awards.
O'Dea's Bar and Bistro in Portarlington will represent the Eastern Region in the Outstanding Customer Service category.
While Peadar's Bar in Moate will be flying the North East flag when it competes for Best Outdoor Space.
Overall, 63 regional winners will compete in the national ceremony on the 15th of November, in the fifth edition of the Irish Pub Awards.
VFI President and owner of Giltraps Pub in Kinnity, John Clendennen, says:
"I’m delighted to see so many fantastic pubs from around Ireland on the list of Irish Pub Awards regional winners. For any publican, getting on this list is a real sign your pub is one of the very best on the country.
For those publicans that didn’t make it I would say to benchmark yourself against the winners and come back stronger next year.
I’m really looking forward to the national awards night in November when we’ll find out which pubs are the best of the best and, of course, which pub is the overall national pub of the year."
Chair of the LVA, Laura Moriarty says:
"The collaboration between VFI and LVA is core to the success of the Irish Pub Awards. The Awards play a big part in acknowledging the role great publicans play in employing people across Ireland, investing in their premises and in acknowledging the wonderful contribution pubs make to their local communities, to Irish social life and to Irish tourism."
